08:11.880 --> 08:15.880 I really, hard for me to travel, you know, get that recollection back. 08:15.880 --> 08:17.880 I said, do we ever fool around? 08:17.880 --> 08:19.880 She says, no, don't you remember? 08:19.880 --> 08:21.880 No. 08:21.880 --> 08:25.880 I said, don't you remember when I came back to your place. 08:25.880 --> 08:28.880 And I just started living on my own in Amsterdam. 08:28.880 --> 08:30.880 And you said, hey, you know, let's just go to sleep. 08:30.880 --> 08:34.880 And let's just sleep because I, you know, I like you so much. 08:34.880 --> 08:36.880 And sex will just complicate things. 08:36.880 --> 08:37.880 And so we slept together. 08:37.880 --> 08:38.880 But we really just slept. 08:38.880 --> 08:39.880 And I guess she never forgot that. 08:39.880 --> 08:41.880 And I was like, wow. 08:41.880 --> 08:43.880 Oh, imagine me. 08:43.880 --> 08:47.880 Maybe I still just wasn't sure about my sexuality. 08:47.880 --> 08:48.880 I don't know. 08:48.880 --> 08:50.880 Oh, no, it's because man, she's beautiful. 08:50.880 --> 08:53.880 Anyway, looking forward to those tracks coming up soon on the podcast. 08:53.880 --> 08:54.880 Music network. 08:54.880 --> 08:55.880 Let me see. 08:55.880 --> 08:56.880 Got a lot of email. 08:56.880 --> 08:57.880 Of course, you know, I'm catching up myself. 08:57.880 --> 09:00.880 Oh, by the way, damn you, John C. Devorek. 09:00.880 --> 09:06.880 He turned me on to this book by John Perkins called Confessions of an economic hitman. 09:06.880 --> 09:08.880 Oh, oh, man. 09:08.880 --> 09:10.880 I'm just getting more pissed off now. 09:10.880 --> 09:15.880 Now that I'm really starting to understand how the American Empire was able to expand so drastically. 09:15.880 --> 09:19.880 And what we're really doing in all these Middle Eastern countries. 09:19.880 --> 09:24.880 And you know, in other places as well, don't forget there are other countries where the United States 09:24.880 --> 09:26.880 is adequately represented. 09:26.880 --> 09:27.880 And why? 09:27.880 --> 09:33.880 And how it has basically built up the corporateocracy and the military industrial complex. 09:33.880 --> 09:39.880 And it also sounds like really, really big words and, and really tough concepts. 09:39.880 --> 09:41.880 But it's really simple to understand once you get into it. 09:41.880 --> 09:43.880 So I'm sure talk about that a little bit later on today. 09:43.880 --> 09:45.880 If not on the No Agenda podcast. 09:45.880 --> 09:47.880 Hey, Adam David from Delaware. 09:47.880 --> 09:48.880 Hey, David. 09:48.880 --> 09:51.880 I was cut to listen to your DSC71 straight. 09:51.880 --> 09:53.880 And I've been inspired to call you. 09:53.880 --> 09:58.880 And even though I've been a listener since the wired interview I haven't ever called. 09:58.880 --> 09:59.880 Oh, man. 09:59.880 --> 10:01.880 That's a 2005. 10:01.880 --> 10:03.880 Well, thank you for hanging in there. 10:03.880 --> 10:05.880 And to give it a little hint to the cinematographic. 10:05.880 --> 10:08.880 So the listen to I just passed my 56th birthday. 10:08.880 --> 10:09.880 Nice. 10:09.880 --> 10:10.880 It's past Sunday. 10:10.880 --> 10:11.880 Congrats. 10:11.880 --> 10:13.880 I'm also an owner of the business. 10:13.880 --> 10:16.880 And I really could relate to your comments about the. 10:16.880 --> 10:18.880 Listen to what's that show. 10:18.880 --> 10:19.880 Of course. 10:19.880 --> 10:22.880 You don't want to miss the your your own company's Christmas party for Led Zeppelin. 10:22.880 --> 10:23.880 I don't give a shit. 10:23.880 --> 10:24.880 Who? 10:24.880 --> 10:25.880 Well, no. 10:25.880 --> 10:26.880 That's not entirely true. 10:26.880 --> 10:28.880 There would be circumstances where it probably forgot. 10:28.880 --> 10:31.880 But this was just not anywhere near. 10:31.880 --> 10:33.880 Yeah, there's just stuff you had to do. 10:33.880 --> 10:35.880 That's all there's to it. 10:35.880 --> 10:39.880 I'm also on the No Fly List, which I just found out on the recent. 10:39.880 --> 10:40.880 Uh-oh. 10:40.880 --> 10:41.880 Houston. 10:41.880 --> 10:43.880 And they're a cooperative continental agent. 10:43.880 --> 10:44.880 Let me know. 10:44.880 --> 10:48.880 That's the reason why I couldn't get my freaking morning boarding pass. 10:48.880 --> 10:49.880 I couldn't have done anywhere. 10:49.880 --> 10:54.880 And I had to go and see the people at the corner. 10:54.880 --> 10:56.880 Inspires with TFA people. 10:56.880 --> 10:57.880 I would make a suggestion. 10:57.880 --> 11:04.880 You've asked for people from Iran to call in on your line and talk to you. 11:04.880 --> 11:06.880 Give me some comments about what it's like living in Iran. 11:06.880 --> 11:10.880 How about even closer to how much get some TFA people to call in and say just what 11:10.880 --> 11:13.880 the hell is in their minds when they're screwing us up. 11:13.880 --> 11:21.880 Are they being instructed to just be in assholes or is it, you know, the civic constructions 11:21.880 --> 11:22.880 about how to do that? 11:22.880 --> 11:25.880 Let me just jump in here for a second. 11:25.880 --> 11:26.880 You know, I do not. 11:26.880 --> 11:28.880 But first of all, I'm not on a no fly list. 11:28.880 --> 11:31.880 I'm on a lookout list, which is an entirely different department. 11:31.880 --> 11:35.880 So the TSA is not alarmed about me at all. 11:35.880 --> 11:42.880 The customs border protection, both by the way agencies that fall under homeland security. 11:42.880 --> 11:43.880 They're the ones that are concerned with me. 11:43.880 --> 11:47.880 So let me just say something about TSA and about airport security in general. 11:47.880 --> 11:55.880 The people working at airport security are the same people who work with Donald's. 11:55.880 --> 12:01.880 And although I just about barely trust the people working at McDonald's to give me a germ free hamburger, 12:01.880 --> 12:09.880 I do not trust them to understand the intricacies of a screening out. 12:09.880 --> 12:16.880 Maybe even sophisticated ways of hijacking an airplane or blowing something up or whatever. 12:16.880 --> 12:18.880 I don't expect them to have that training. 12:18.880 --> 12:22.880 I don't expect them to be listening to the show. 12:22.880 --> 12:27.880 And just next time you go through a US airport security, look at them. 12:27.880 --> 12:30.880 And in fact, you can just say, I'll have a happy meal, please. 12:30.880 --> 12:33.880 They'll probably reach around and want to give it to you. 12:33.880 --> 12:38.880 So they're just following orders, which doesn't that sound familiar, just following orders. 12:38.880 --> 12:41.880 To the best of their ability. 12:41.880 --> 12:47.880 So I don't think that, you know, and probably there's, you know, the same thing that you'd get in a McDonald's. 12:47.880 --> 12:49.880 And by the way, I'm an asshole at McDonald's. 12:49.880 --> 12:53.880 When I walk up to McDonald's and someone doesn't say, hi, welcome to McDonald's. 12:53.880 --> 12:54.880 How may I help you? 12:54.880 --> 12:56.880 I always say, hi, helping to McDonald's. 12:56.880 --> 12:57.880 How may I help you? 12:57.880 --> 12:59.880 That's the way your commercial portrays your company. 12:59.880 --> 13:01.880 I'm not getting any love from you. 13:01.880 --> 13:04.880 And I feel that I'm a dick about that. 13:04.880 --> 13:05.880 I really am. 13:05.880 --> 13:06.880 Let's go. 13:06.880 --> 13:07.880 Let's go. 13:07.880 --> 13:08.880 I say, hi. 13:08.880 --> 13:09.880 Welcome to McDonald's. 13:09.880 --> 13:11.880 How may I help you? 13:11.880 --> 13:13.880 You know, if I would get that from the TSA, hi. 13:13.880 --> 13:14.880 Welcome to the TSA. 13:14.880 --> 13:15.880 We're here for your security. 13:15.880 --> 13:20.880 We're just going to, you know, and sometimes you do get a guy or a gal who's, you know, 13:20.880 --> 13:24.880 shepherding the line and they'll be making jokes and kind of make it fun and funny that happens 13:24.880 --> 13:25.880 in New York. 13:25.880 --> 13:26.880 I've had that happen a couple times. 13:26.880 --> 13:30.880 You know, and that's kind of making light of a quote unquote dire situation. 13:30.880 --> 13:32.880 But at the end of the day, now, man. 13:32.880 --> 13:37.880 These, these, these people are. 13:37.880 --> 13:40.880 They just don't care. 13:40.880 --> 13:46.880 And I think they, they have as, as little pride in, they would have given you a hamburger 13:46.880 --> 13:50.880 and they can the perfect burger as they would getting you through security securely. 13:50.880 --> 13:56.880 And so of course you're going to have people who just don't like you, you know, because you're not working 13:56.880 --> 13:58.880 for whatever they're working for. 13:59.880 --> 14:03.880 And of course, you're going to get people who want a little bit of a power trip because they have some. 14:03.880 --> 14:07.880 But, you know, you can't generalize that everyone's evil. 14:07.880 --> 14:13.880 You can generalize that the people who are working there are of a, 14:13.880 --> 14:17.880 a, boy. 14:17.880 --> 14:19.880 Maybe you should just shut up before I get in trouble. 14:19.880 --> 14:21.880 Because by the way, I like going to McDonald's. 14:21.880 --> 14:23.880 And I have nothing against the people there. 14:23.880 --> 14:26.880 But it just seems like they're in a fucking McDonald's job just, you know, 14:26.880 --> 14:28.880 getting through and not really caring. 14:28.880 --> 14:30.880 And that is not the point of security. 14:30.880 --> 14:32.880 Which is exactly what's kind of trying. 14:32.880 --> 14:34.880 Of course, we won't get any of that. 14:34.880 --> 14:36.880 And we'll, we'll call you to know TSA. 14:36.880 --> 14:38.880 If people would be calling, listen to your podcast anyway. 14:38.880 --> 14:43.880 And by the way, if someone from TSA wants to call, I mean, they'd be more than welcome to. 14:43.880 --> 14:47.880 I like, and, and I do get emails from people who just don't want to be on the air because they're 14:47.880 --> 14:50.880 afraid for their own job security, uh, advice. 14:50.880 --> 14:53.880 And I've gotten this from investment bankers, people who understand, you know, 14:53.880 --> 14:59.880 I've been talking a lot about the federal reserve and how, um, how they're just printing money. 14:59.880 --> 15:03.880 And basically, uh, enslaving us in debting us for good. 15:03.880 --> 15:05.880 Uh, but they don't want to come on the air. 15:05.880 --> 15:06.880 And I can understand. 15:06.880 --> 15:10.880 So I can only kind of pass along what I've learned, uh, in the back room conversations. 15:10.880 --> 15:13.880 Uh, one quick thing, I also want to mention this, 15:13.880 --> 15:15.880 and this Thanksgiving holiday to this past, 15:15.880 --> 15:20.880 there seem to have been a complete change in the, in the whole travel, uh, 15:21.880 --> 15:23.880 issues and then in America, at least. 15:23.880 --> 15:28.880 And it kind of was revealed that there are flight paths that are designated for commercial 15:28.880 --> 15:34.880 aircrafts and vast majority of the airspace is controlled by the military. 15:34.880 --> 15:39.880 Um, and maybe that's really what's been screwing everything up since September 11. 15:39.880 --> 15:46.880 And there's not really been four fluid ounces of stuff that we can't bring on the planes and then TSA people. 15:46.880 --> 15:47.880 Yeah, that's not true. 15:47.880 --> 15:51.880 I can tell you categorically that has nothing to do with it. 15:51.880 --> 15:52.880 Absolutely not. 15:52.880 --> 15:57.880 You know, there's, there's no reason why, you know, if commercial air traffic would be flying 15:57.880 --> 16:03.880 through some supposed military zone, uh, which, by the way, is not necessarily a flight path, 16:03.880 --> 16:05.880 but it's really, uh, it's a zone. 16:05.880 --> 16:08.880 Um, that, that would, that would have nothing to do with it. 16:08.880 --> 16:10.880 So I don't, I don't think that change anything. 16:10.880 --> 16:12.880 I think they just implemented some new systems. 16:12.880 --> 16:13.880 That's all I think. 16:14.880 --> 16:16.880 Um, I actually didn't get my checklists. 16:16.880 --> 16:20.880 I guess red pill, my piece smells, my eat theparagus. 16:20.880 --> 16:21.880 Nice. 16:21.880 --> 16:22.880 Oh, sir. 16:22.880 --> 16:23.880 And, like, oh, no. 16:23.880 --> 16:25.880 You love you, pick. 16:25.880 --> 16:26.880 Yeah, love you, man. 16:26.880 --> 16:27.880 No, homo. 16:27.880 --> 16:28.880 Get a lot of those. 16:28.880 --> 16:29.880 That's pretty funny. 16:29.880 --> 16:34.880 And of course, more, uh, on the TSA and more, uh, Tales of Terror. 16:34.880 --> 16:35.880 Hey, Adam. 16:35.880 --> 16:36.880 Uh, it's my concept. 16:36.880 --> 16:37.880 Just go. 16:37.880 --> 16:41.880 I, uh, which is going to sit at my nephew is also on this list. 16:41.880 --> 16:44.880 And, um, she does a lot of traveling with his folks. 16:44.880 --> 16:47.880 My sister and my brother-in-law, and she's on the list also. 16:47.880 --> 16:51.880 Um, problem with this is that she is, um, seven years old. 16:51.880 --> 16:55.880 And they constantly want to take him to the back room and, um, my brother-in-law. 16:55.880 --> 16:57.880 So, you know, I have to go along. 16:57.880 --> 16:58.880 Yeah. 16:58.880 --> 17:01.880 And, um, it's a more lettering thing when they go flying around. 17:01.880 --> 17:02.880 Yeah. 17:02.880 --> 17:03.880 They travel a lot. 17:03.880 --> 17:04.880 And what a great station for him. 17:04.880 --> 17:05.880 Yeah, really. 17:05.880 --> 17:06.880 Travel the world. 17:06.880 --> 17:09.880 But, um, yeah, we're teaching him something now. 17:09.880 --> 17:11.880 And, um, why they're, um, 17:11.880 --> 17:15.880 He's on the list where, um, he's kind of a shady little guy though. 17:15.880 --> 17:16.880 Anyway. 17:16.880 --> 17:20.880 And, um, he was looking at the PME well back. 17:20.880 --> 17:22.880 So the stream pod guys. 17:22.880 --> 17:23.880 Yeah. 17:23.880 --> 17:24.880 Anyway. 17:24.880 --> 17:26.880 I'm sure you had a good time. 17:26.880 --> 17:27.880 Anyway. 17:27.880 --> 17:28.880 Bye-bye. 17:28.880 --> 17:29.880 Yeah. 17:29.880 --> 17:30.880 I had a great time. 17:30.880 --> 17:31.880 The full shizzle. 17:31.880 --> 17:32.880 Yeah. 17:32.880 --> 17:36.880 And again, you know, it's like if a name pops up that, uh, could be an issue. 17:36.880 --> 17:37.880 Nothing wrong with checking it. 17:37.880 --> 17:39.880 You should be able to take people off the goddamn list. 17:39.880 --> 17:41.880 That's, that's a stupid. 17:41.880 --> 17:43.880 It's irritating. 17:43.880 --> 17:44.880 It's unnecessary. 17:44.880 --> 17:47.880 And it shows how fucking, what are you using Microsoft Vista? 17:47.880 --> 17:48.880 What the fuck is that? 17:48.880 --> 17:50.880 Hi, Adam is John Quirk. 17:50.880 --> 17:53.880 Um, just a couple of things. 17:53.880 --> 17:58.880 But maybe relate to your extended interview with US Customs. 17:58.880 --> 18:00.880 Um, it's pretty well known. 18:00.880 --> 18:03.880 I don't think he's any secret that you like the early herb. 18:03.880 --> 18:05.880 Which may not go down well with some people. 18:05.880 --> 18:07.880 We're on drugs and all that. 18:07.880 --> 18:09.880 And the last thing is at one time on the S. 18:09.880 --> 18:13.880 You did actually say something along the line that I can get any contraband through. 18:13.880 --> 18:15.880 They won't stop me. 18:15.880 --> 18:18.880 Maybe somebody heard that and decided to put your name on the list. 18:18.880 --> 18:19.880 And I see what you're carrying. 18:19.880 --> 18:21.880 That made us be something to do with it. 18:21.880 --> 18:22.880 I don't know. 18:22.880 --> 18:23.880 Anyway, keep fighting. 18:23.880 --> 18:24.880 It's the worst fight before. 18:24.880 --> 18:25.880 Yeah. 18:25.880 --> 18:26.880 All right. 18:26.880 --> 18:27.880 Happy Christmas. 18:27.880 --> 18:29.880 Now, you know what, uh, I don't think so. 18:29.880 --> 18:33.880 And I'm, I'm deriving this or concluding this just from the, 18:33.880 --> 18:35.880 what's happening in secondary screening. 18:35.880 --> 18:36.880 They're just interested in me. 18:36.880 --> 18:37.880 They're not interested. 18:37.880 --> 18:39.880 They're not really doing a contraband search. 18:39.880 --> 18:41.880 I can tell because I know when people are looking for contraband. 18:41.880 --> 18:43.880 I know what that looks like. 18:43.880 --> 18:46.880 And by the way, you know, that's when they'd bring in dogs and all kinds of stuff. 18:46.880 --> 18:48.880 And if they really thought I was smuggling contraband, 18:48.880 --> 18:50.880 I'd have a much more thorough search. 18:50.880 --> 18:52.880 And of course, I'm not because I'm not stupid. 18:52.880 --> 18:54.880 I'm not stupid. 18:54.880 --> 18:59.880 Uh, no, I think it's much more likely that someone put me on this list to fuck with me. 18:59.880 --> 19:02.880 Um, and of course, I have some indications as to who that might have been. 19:02.880 --> 19:07.880 Uh, which, of course, is highly legal and just as messed up is if the government themselves had, 19:07.880 --> 19:11.880 you know, had some reason to think that I needed to be screened. 19:11.880 --> 19:12.880 But again, it doesn't matter. 19:12.880 --> 19:14.880 It just doesn't matter. 19:14.880 --> 19:20.880 Once I'm cleared and clean, no, once I'm clear, once I'm clear, I should be just fucking clear. 19:20.880 --> 19:23.880 You know, and I really am going to find out. 19:23.880 --> 19:25.880 I'm going to, I'm going to ask these guys about this clear card. 19:25.880 --> 19:29.880 If I fill out the clear card, if I give them my retinal scan and fingerprints, 19:29.880 --> 19:31.880 does that mean that I'm cleared through customs? 19:31.880 --> 19:34.880 If not, then you really know it's a bunch of bullshit. 19:34.880 --> 19:37.880 And it's just another version of the National ID card. 19:37.880 --> 19:40.880 It's just another way to register you. 19:40.880 --> 19:42.880 Essentially to fuck with you. 19:42.880 --> 19:48.880 So now, I think, I think the issue is, um, I'm on checkmark somewhere. 19:48.880 --> 19:49.880 The new systems went into place. 19:49.880 --> 19:52.880 I got the new passport with the RFID chip. 19:52.880 --> 19:55.880 So now they can actually scan me in the new system and Bing. 19:55.880 --> 19:56.880 Shit's popping up. 19:56.880 --> 19:57.880 What was it? 19:57.880 --> 20:00.880 Did I see a fantastic story the other day? 20:00.880 --> 20:01.880 Oh, please tell me. 20:01.880 --> 20:03.880 I put that in my Google notebook. 20:03.880 --> 20:06.880 A girl from Iceland, I believe. 20:06.880 --> 20:08.880 She went through a horrible ordeal. 20:08.880 --> 20:11.880 I'm just recalling this from memory. 20:11.880 --> 20:15.880 She and her girlfriends went to New York to have some fun for a couple days. 20:15.880 --> 20:16.880 Do some shopping and hang out. 20:16.880 --> 20:18.880 And she was stopped at customs. 20:18.880 --> 20:21.880 And they said, oh, at the border, basically. 20:22.880 --> 20:26.880 And they said, well, you overstayed your tourist visa in 1995. 20:26.880 --> 20:27.880 And we're going to deport you. 20:27.880 --> 20:28.880 And she said, well, wait a minute. 20:28.880 --> 20:31.880 You know, I've been to the States a couple times since 1995. 20:31.880 --> 20:33.880 And no one ever mentioned anything. 20:33.880 --> 20:34.880 And so, you know, what's the problem? 20:34.880 --> 20:39.880 She was detained for two days, put in shackles, subjected to all kinds of searches. 20:39.880 --> 20:42.880 Couldn't make an international call to anyone. 20:42.880 --> 20:44.880 You know, just really fucking lame. 20:44.880 --> 20:46.880 I'll put a link in the show notes of that web blog. 20:46.880 --> 20:50.880 I mean, that's, um, uh, bummed I can't find it now. 20:51.880 --> 20:55.880 I can't, I'm, I was sure I would have, almost second. 20:55.880 --> 21:00.880 I'm sure that I would have booked Mark that or put that into my, uh, put that into my notebook. 21:00.880 --> 21:04.880 It was essentially, it's a translation of a blog post that she wrote. 21:04.880 --> 21:06.880 And she's hot, too. 21:06.880 --> 21:08.880 I wonder if that has anything to do with it. 21:08.880 --> 21:09.880 She's blonde. 21:09.880 --> 21:11.880 Maybe it's just against blonde, huh? 21:11.880 --> 21:12.880 Hold on. 21:12.880 --> 21:14.880 Let me just see if I can find it. 21:14.880 --> 21:15.880 Hmm. 21:15.880 --> 21:16.880 No. 21:16.880 --> 21:17.880 Oh, thanks. 21:18.880 --> 21:19.880 No. 21:19.880 --> 21:20.880 All right. 21:20.880 --> 21:21.880 I'll look for it. 21:21.880 --> 21:24.880 I will put a link in the show notes of daily source code.com. 21:24.880 --> 21:30.880 Hey, here's a sabanta who has, has a very good solution for me getting into the United States. 21:30.880 --> 21:31.880 Hey, here. 21:31.880 --> 21:32.880 Hello, Adam. 21:32.880 --> 21:33.880 Here's some fairies. 21:33.880 --> 21:34.880 Hey, buddy. 21:34.880 --> 21:35.880 Long time, etc. 21:35.880 --> 21:36.880 Yeah, yeah. 21:36.880 --> 21:41.880 Um, certainly sympathize with you about the issues with the US immigration. 21:41.880 --> 21:43.880 I've had my moments there. 21:43.880 --> 21:45.880 But nothing is severe as you're getting. 21:45.880 --> 21:48.880 And it's particularly calling since you are a citizen. 21:48.880 --> 21:49.880 And I am not. 21:49.880 --> 21:52.880 Still, I can understand the problem. 21:52.880 --> 21:53.880 I know where the problem lies. 21:53.880 --> 21:55.880 And I know what the answer is. 21:55.880 --> 21:58.880 Yeah, you need longer sleeves. 21:58.880 --> 22:03.880 Because each time you reach out to become a finger on those in scanner, 22:03.880 --> 22:08.880 the man behind the desk sees that your watch is worth more than his house. 22:08.880 --> 22:10.880 He's all in, that's all it is. 22:10.880 --> 22:11.880 No, no. 22:11.880 --> 22:13.880 Anyway, um, I, of course, 22:14.880 --> 22:15.880 the public detestations for you. 22:15.880 --> 22:16.880 Yes. 22:16.880 --> 22:18.880 This is a potential exotable way. 22:18.880 --> 22:19.880 Yes, I've got it. 22:19.880 --> 22:20.880 Yes, no. 22:20.880 --> 22:21.880 Thank you. 22:21.880 --> 22:22.880 Thank you, Hugh. 22:22.880 --> 22:23.880 No, man. 22:23.880 --> 22:24.880 You've got it all wrong. 22:24.880 --> 22:25.880 Americans are not like that. 22:25.880 --> 22:27.880 Americans see that you're successful. 22:27.880 --> 22:30.880 The only thing in American citizen will think is, 22:30.880 --> 22:32.880 damn, I want to be that successful. 22:32.880 --> 22:33.880 Congratulations, dude. 22:33.880 --> 22:34.880 I'm glad you made it. 22:34.880 --> 22:36.880 That's what the American citizen thinks. 22:36.880 --> 22:37.880 Seriously, it's part of the dream. 22:37.880 --> 22:39.880 It's what we all work towards. 22:39.880 --> 22:42.880 And of course, it's, you know, it's very materialistic. 22:42.880 --> 22:44.880 But it's, uh, it's just the way it is. 22:44.880 --> 22:45.880 No, I don't think so. 22:45.880 --> 22:47.880 And by the way, um, you know, the TSA, 22:47.880 --> 22:49.880 and I was equating them to McDonald's workers, 22:49.880 --> 22:51.880 and they should, uh, they should have the, you know, 22:51.880 --> 22:53.880 nice, happy attitude. 22:53.880 --> 22:56.880 I really do miss what you used to get, uh, 22:56.880 --> 22:58.880 years ago when you'd come into the United States, 22:58.880 --> 23:01.880 they would, the customs and border patrol. 23:01.880 --> 23:03.880 They would say, welcome home. 23:03.880 --> 23:04.880 They would say, hi, how you doing? 23:04.880 --> 23:05.880 Welcome home. 23:05.880 --> 23:06.880 And you know what, even if they said, 23:06.880 --> 23:07.880 now, hey, welcome home. 23:07.880 --> 23:09.880 Uh, we just got to check in a few things. 23:09.880 --> 23:10.880 It's, uh, it's for

I bite the hand of feet. 23:31.880 --> 23:32.880 Haha. 23:32.880 --> 23:33.880 It may be a limp hand if we don't know. 23:33.880 --> 23:37.880 If they win, if they win, LA, I'm going to go to their

24:05.880 It didn't work for John Bongeau. 24:05.880 --> 24:07.880 I didn't think he was a pink. 24:07.880 --> 24:10.880 She was a superstar and all the ladies loved his hair. 24:10.880 --> 24:11.880 Wow. 24:11.880 --> 24:12.880 Well, Adam Curry, that worked. 24:12.880 --> 24:13.880 Just looks like a girl. 24:13.880 --> 24:15.880 Haha. 24:15.880 --> 24:18.880 Oh, he's, they're sending this.

24:29.880 Ah, damn. 24:29.880 --> 24:30.880 Let me see. 24:30.880 --> 24:32.880 LA is somewhat, some, some, some, some, some, some. 24:32.880 --> 24:33.880 I bet you they have no hair. 24:33.880 --> 24:34.880 That's what I usually find. 24:34.880 --> 24:42.160 people who make haired jokes have very little hair themselves. Sorry, boys. Anyway, nice to hear 24:42.160 --> 24:47.200 the Brits kicking in. You got a lot of British phone calls this time around. That's good. You guys 24:47.200 --> 24:51.760 are back home. You're getting ready for the holidays. You've quit working. You've got time to chill out 24:51.760 --> 25:00.720 to listen and buy stuff. Hey, Adam Mike here from the southernmost reaches of Canada. Listen to 25:00.720 --> 25:08.400 show 701. And you had asked listeners if they had picked up any new Sony headphones. And I have. 25:08.400 --> 25:13.040 And I love them. However, they're not the headphones that I was actually looking for. I was looking 25:13.040 --> 25:21.040 for the sleek metal housing noise canceling. What's this? Show up on the page when you punch in the 25:21.040 --> 25:27.440 URL that you gave the ear listeners. Sony dot com slash headphones. Those aren't available until 25:27.440 --> 25:33.920 actually today. But I bought my headphones last week. You couldn't wait. And they actually replaced 25:33.920 --> 25:42.560 a set of fast text T50s that I had bought in the 80s and all the black stuff that holds a 25:42.560 --> 25:48.080 phone. And that's all coming out. Yeah. And the cable shows some intermittent noise. So I wanted 25:48.080 --> 25:54.240 to replace those. So I said, well, I'll just get some nice Sony studio installed kind of headphones. 25:54.320 --> 26:00.560 And I have to tell you these units are so light and they sound very good. Awesome. The other thing 26:00.560 --> 26:06.480 is you were in New York. And I also listened to, I love the company with David Epilito. And there 26:06.480 --> 26:11.680 was a time there. Right when he went from five shows a week down to, you know, a shortened schedule, 26:11.680 --> 26:18.960 I guess you'd say. And he sounded somewhat disgruntled. I'd have to say about, about Podio. Without 26:19.120 --> 26:24.560 actually saying anything nasty about Podio, he compared doing the podcasting and a monetary 26:24.560 --> 26:31.280 sense to having a paper route. That's how much money he felt. Like I feel like he's putting a lot 26:31.280 --> 26:36.240 of work into it. And, you know, he wants to see some returns or something. I'm not sure. And he's 26:36.240 --> 26:41.920 not sure either. So he really wants to talk to you. It sounds like he says, well, if Adam's ever 26:41.920 --> 26:45.920 in town, I'd really like to go have a cup of coffee with him or something. And it's too bad that 26:45.920 --> 26:50.960 he were there. And you guys didn't hook up again. But anyway, that's it. I've been rambling on too 26:50.960 --> 26:59.440 long already. And I love you, Adam Kirk. Oh, I love you, too. No, home. Yeah. So first of all, thanks for the 27:00.000 --> 27:03.440 thanks for the feedback on the Sony headphones. We got a couple pairs here. I like him very much. 27:03.440 --> 27:09.680 I've been using Sony's for a long time. Before that, I was pioneers. No way. I think first 27:09.760 --> 27:17.520 it was the it was actually Dave Clark conversion. So the helicopter headsets converted to 27:17.520 --> 27:21.200 to real audio headsets. Those are the because they really were tight. And you couldn't get any 27:21.200 --> 27:25.360 feedback from the headphones to the microphone because I like turning up the cans really loud. And 27:25.360 --> 27:32.080 then it was the pioneers. Kind of those those black half coconut shells. And from then on in, 27:32.080 --> 27:39.360 I think when Sony came out with their kind of collapsible soft foam yet completely closed and 27:39.920 --> 27:44.800 I don't think I ever look back. Really, really like him. Regarding David I believe, of course, 27:44.800 --> 27:49.440 that guitar man from Central Park, I'm a big fan of his music, I'm a big fan of what he's doing in 27:49.440 --> 27:56.320 Central Park, I'm a big fan of his show. Unfortunately, you know, the only way you're going to make 27:56.320 --> 28:03.440 money is by having an audience that is big enough if you're in the advertising game. And I'm not 28:03.520 --> 28:12.000 kind of discuss David's audience size, but he knows what's looking delivering to an audience 28:12.000 --> 28:19.440 size of a paper out. So it's like there's no magic bullet here. There really isn't. He needs to go 28:19.440 --> 28:23.520 on a campaign. You know, he needs to get people listening. His listeners need to get people listening. 28:23.520 --> 28:28.560 That's what you guys do for the show. And he's got to find his niche and maybe his niche is just 28:28.560 --> 28:34.880 really small. However, I have to say that in 2008, Pod Show is going to have a number of other ways 28:34.880 --> 28:39.600 for people to make money with their own shows. I'm really excited about it. We're calling it seller 28:39.600 --> 28:46.240 Tainman. And it's very much the go-daddy system. You have to know that whenever someone 28:47.040 --> 28:54.000 uses a domain name promo code or a coupon or whatever it's called, the show and question who's 28:54.720 --> 29:01.600 who's co-use, you know, they get a hit. They get a bonus. If you're a new customer, they get 29:01.600 --> 29:08.480 you know, a substantial dineros. And just think about why, you know, every company that's really good 29:09.120 --> 29:13.120 and has a product or service. You know, they know what their customer acquisition is. They know what 29:13.120 --> 29:20.800 it costs to get a customer to join the program by their product. And if they're a company that 29:21.760 --> 29:26.160 you know, that has follow on products as most do, they know what the lifetime value of that 29:26.160 --> 29:30.720 customer will be. They know how much money they can get out of that customer in the life 29:30.720 --> 29:36.320 lifetime of that customer being a customer. So it's what they call customer lifetime customer value. 29:37.120 --> 29:41.200 And it's a real simple equation for them. So let's say that they can get three to $400 out of 29:41.200 --> 29:45.520 someone. They're pretty happy to give up 20 bucks. You know, here's $20. Thank you for the customer. 29:46.080 --> 29:51.440 And I believe, or I think we've proven time and time again that it's very, very effective 29:52.160 --> 29:56.880 to talk about products and stuff that you like on your show because if you don't, you're not going 29:56.880 --> 30:01.680 to sell that anyway. And you'll see that your audience will buy into that. So if you have only, 30:01.680 --> 30:05.840 let's say you only have a thousand listeners. You know, that's basically in the advertising business. 30:05.840 --> 30:13.520 That's one CPM. That's one million, one meal. So 1,000 people. And the going rate is anywhere 30:13.600 --> 30:19.920 from $10 to $35. So, you know, if you have a show and a thousand people listen to an episode, 30:19.920 --> 30:24.480 you know, if we filled up the inventory there, we could get you, you know, at minimum 10 bucks. 30:25.200 --> 30:30.880 However, if you, if you sold a number of domain names or how about a Nokia N810, 30:31.440 --> 30:37.040 you might be getting substantially more. And I mentioned the Nokia N810 specifically 30:37.840 --> 30:43.120 because I believe the codes are now finally being made. I have a feeling that we, we probably 30:43.120 --> 30:47.440 are not going to hit it before Christmas and I apologize and everyone apologize. Finland, 30:47.440 --> 30:52.480 fucking apologizes. San Francisco apologizes. We, you know, just, there's a number of reasons 30:52.480 --> 30:57.440 while you just couldn't get it together. Quickly enough. Funny enough for the U.S. promo codes, 30:57.440 --> 31:01.280 I think we're taking the longest for some reason. And as you know, a big fan of this device, 31:01.280 --> 31:04.880 it's made in Finland. I might want to point out. As far as I know, actually, all the parts 31:04.880 --> 31:10.320 are made in Finland. That would be interesting to find out. Find country, part of the European 31:10.400 --> 31:18.400 Union. And, you know, it's a great company. They started making rubber boots and paper products. 31:18.400 --> 31:22.480 And they've, they're a manufacturing company. And a damn good one. And they make good shit. 31:23.040 --> 31:28.160 And I like it. And I love this device. And hopefully I'll be able to get it to you at a good 31:28.160 --> 31:37.440 price very soon. Um, okay. So now I'm segue, segue from segue, segue, segue. segueing from that 31:37.440 --> 31:44.960 into, uh, into this whole, uh, wow, study I've been making really about, you know, what makes 31:44.960 --> 31:51.200 the U.S. economy take, what makes it turn, what makes it churn. Um, seeing is that we're completely 31:51.200 --> 31:58.400 being ripped off by companies who are in Kahootz with, uh, I would say the parts of Congress and 31:58.400 --> 32:05.520 certainly the federal reserve and the world bank, um, who, you know, essentially had been, you know, 32:05.600 --> 32:09.680 if it's all, it's so hard. You really should read this book. Of course, I'll put a link in show 32:09.680 --> 32:17.360 notes to, uh, to the confessions of an economic hitman. Um, essentially the way, you know, 32:17.360 --> 32:22.160 the way it's worked in the past is, hey, um, leader of a foreign country, uh, either in the Middle 32:22.160 --> 32:28.080 East or perhaps South America. Um, guess what, uh, we're going to come in here. Uh, we're going to, 32:28.080 --> 32:35.200 uh, you're going to borrow, uh, $100 billion from the U.S. And this $100 billion is going to 32:35.200 --> 32:41.440 get you infrastructure. We're going to build power plants and and refineries and all kinds of, uh, 32:41.440 --> 32:46.800 power related industry is going to come in and we're, uh, here's the economic models and here's 32:46.800 --> 32:52.000 how that's going to boost up the economy and make your country fantastic. Uh, the world bank will 32:52.000 --> 32:55.920 lend you this money at a very favorable rate. Of course, there's no way in hell, they'll ever be able 32:55.920 --> 33:00.560 to pay it back, which is part of the trap. Oh, and here's $200 million for you and your family 33:00.640 --> 33:05.440 in this black bag. Of course, if you don't want the deal, then I can always send it to jackals, 33:06.320 --> 33:11.120 meaning the CIA, essentially, and you know, they'll probably kill you if you don't participate 33:11.120 --> 33:14.800 in our little program. And so that's what's been happening in all of these countries. 33:16.240 --> 33:19.920 And the way to slow that down, the way to say, hey, hold on a second, 33:20.720 --> 33:24.160 when it's not going to take this anymore, because you know, these these big companies that 33:24.160 --> 33:29.680 be companies. And if you listen to this story from this John Perkins guy, you know, he didn't even 33:29.760 --> 33:34.560 realize what he was doing until, won't tell essentially it was too late and he had to get out 33:35.680 --> 33:40.800 while he still could get out. Because he was just getting richer and everything was great and 33:40.800 --> 33:45.280 fine, and then he kind of woke up to the reality and saw what was really happening and he stopped. 33:46.400 --> 33:50.640 And we can do the same thing. And you know what? It's not going to take a lot. I've been doing 33:50.640 --> 33:54.400 more research. First of all, I'm going to play this little bit from the New York Times front page, 33:54.480 --> 34:01.920 which is a it's a podcast where James Baron usually reads the front page, the highlights from 34:01.920 --> 34:06.080 the front page of the New York Times, which is a great show because, you know, gives me the highlights 34:06.080 --> 34:10.240 of the day. And it also tells me if I want to go look at New York Times dot com or if I even want 34:10.240 --> 34:16.000 to pick up a copy of the paper, there could be a reason for that as well. So I think it's a fantastic 34:16.960 --> 34:24.000 content. And it's the New York F in times. So I'm going to play this bit from a couple of days ago 34:24.000 --> 34:31.040 and it's basically a financial report and listen to what they're talking about, what the story 34:31.040 --> 34:36.240 is about, it's about consumers, about our shopping habits, about our buying and who it affects 34:36.960 --> 34:41.280 and then listen to the percentages. Okay, let's just play this little bit from the New York Times front 34:41.360 --> 34:47.440 page podcast. Hey, Adam Mike here from the, what a great set of. Let's try that again. 34:49.520 --> 34:56.080 Inside Fridays times a dilemma for the federal reserve. Retail sales rose 1.2% in November. 34:56.080 --> 35:02.000 That plus a jump in wholesale prices and a decline in new unemployment claims pointed to resilience in 35:02.000 --> 35:06.720 the economy even as the financial system and the housing market continued to weaken. But the new 35:06.720 --> 35:12.160 data conflict with other reports and that's the problem facing the Fed. Investment strategist James 35:12.160 --> 35:17.840 Swanson of the mutual fund company, MFS investment says we'll model through. He says there's not 35:17.840 --> 35:23.440 going to be an all clear or a big collapse. All right, did you listen to that? Did you hear? 35:24.240 --> 35:30.400 So they're talking about retail and wholesale prices. Basically about what's being spent? What are 35:30.400 --> 35:34.800 we buying? How much are we buying? So let's just, let's just pick through this for a second. 35:35.440 --> 35:40.800 Here we go. Inside Fridays times a dilemma for the federal reserve. Okay, first of all, a dilemma 35:40.800 --> 35:47.920 for the federal reserve. Remember, the federal reserve is as governmental as federal express. It is a 35:47.920 --> 35:55.680 private commercial company who has the exclusive right to print US dollars. They print money when 35:55.760 --> 36:00.720 they feel it is necessary. Therefore, they control the supply and demand of dollars, 36:00.720 --> 36:06.800 which means they control inflation. They control interest rates that banks can borrow and of course 36:06.800 --> 36:11.040 foreign countries as well and of course that all eventually trickles down to how much your mortgage 36:11.040 --> 36:19.600 rate is. So these are the guys who really control a lot and the consumer purchasing habits are 36:19.600 --> 36:27.920 causing them a headache. So this is good news. We know how to cause headaches for these guys, 36:27.920 --> 36:34.080 which gets attention. Let's listen to what the headache is. Retail sales rose 1.2% in November. 36:34.080 --> 36:39.840 That plus a jump in wholesale prices and a decline in new unemployment claims pointed to resilience 36:39.840 --> 36:44.640 in the economy even as the financial system in the housing market continue to weaken. Okay, 36:44.640 --> 36:50.480 so this is very interesting. 1.2%. So in essence, by all of us, 36:52.560 --> 37:02.560 purchasing 1.2% more than usual, we made the federal reserve happy. 1% just one little percent, 37:02.560 --> 37:08.400 a little bit more. That made them very happy, meaning the engine is still working. It's still firing. 37:08.400 --> 37:14.000 Maybe not on all cylinders, but it's still working. We're still spending. Now, I believe 37:15.120 --> 37:19.920 and it's even hard for me to understand this next bit. I believe that the concern for the federal 37:19.920 --> 37:25.120 reserve is that they think this money is coming. Well, let's listen to it again. You can, 37:25.120 --> 37:30.160 but the new data conflict with other reports and that's the problem facing the Fed. Investment 37:30.160 --> 37:36.320 strategist James Swanson of the mutual fund company, MFS investment says we'll model through. He says 37:36.320 --> 37:42.800 there's not going to be an all-clear or a big collapse. Okay, so what that basically means is yes, 37:42.880 --> 37:49.680 consumers have spent more, 1.2%, very happy, but no, all the other data about the mortgage rate, 37:49.680 --> 37:56.400 the prime, the structured investment vehicles, the subprime loans, that, you know, I think Morgan 37:56.400 --> 38:02.960 Stanley now announced another five or six billion dollars they're writing off. That doesn't 38:02.960 --> 38:06.800 seem to be over yet. In fact, I think it's far from over. I think the problems are going to be 38:06.800 --> 38:12.640 much deeper with that. So the Fed is worried about that. So let's just forget the second half 38:12.640 --> 38:19.920 and concentrate on the first half. If all we have to do to make the Fed happy is spend 1% more, 38:19.920 --> 38:25.520 we can probably really get their attention and piss them off by spending a couple percent less. 38:26.720 --> 38:33.360 So think about it. It wouldn't even take that much. Let's just forget all the types of products 38:33.440 --> 38:37.760 and services that we buy for a second. Forget where they're made. That's a whole other issue. 38:37.760 --> 38:43.840 But just to get the attention, the Federal Reserve, if all we always have to do is spend 5% less. 38:43.840 --> 38:50.880 5%, what is 5% of every hundred dollars you spend that you know how fast that goes. 38:50.880 --> 38:55.360 Keep five bucks in your pocket. Don't spend it. Save it. Put it under your mattress. 38:56.320 --> 39:02.640 Do something else with it. But don't buy stuff. If we all did that, 39:03.440 --> 39:10.800 we all did that very simple act of saving 5%. Can you imagine what the, I mean, it would be 39:10.800 --> 39:17.520 consumer spending down 5% Fed freaking out. And we could say, hey, just want to show you the 39:17.520 --> 39:23.120 power now. We've got some demands we want to make. At this next comment has another great idea. 39:23.120 --> 39:31.200 I really like this. Hey Adam, the vermilion support Pennsylvania. Listen to you talk about sending 39:31.280 --> 39:38.480 a message and listen to show. I think 700 tried calling in about not buying fuel. 39:39.360 --> 39:44.720 And they just make an important other day or whatever. Why don't we all just want to fill up 39:44.720 --> 39:52.240 fill up with six dollars in 60 cents to the bunch of six sixes flying on. You got to get 39:53.280 --> 39:58.080 some media recognition. I would thank you. Yeah. I love you Adam. 39:58.640 --> 40:03.360 I love you too. And I think this is, yo, I think it's a great idea. I don't know about six 40:03.360 --> 40:09.040 dollars and 66 cents. I think it would be more like 66 dollars and 66 cents. But yeah, 40:09.680 --> 40:15.120 right on. Let's do that. I'm going to start immediately. I'm going to try and round off everything to 40:15.120 --> 40:24.640 six six six. The mark of the beast. Great idea. Yes, if you fill up fill up $6 and 66 cents 40:24.720 --> 40:33.200 or $66 and 66 cents. That's really cool. So essentially, yeah, we should do maybe we should drop 40:33.200 --> 40:40.480 consumer spending by six point 66 percent. Be nice if we could do it. So just spend six 40:40.480 --> 40:45.520 percent less, six and a half percent less, and then maybe if we're really good, if we really 40:45.520 --> 40:50.640 work on it, we can get that report on the New York Times to say consumer spending drop by six 40:50.720 --> 40:59.760 point six six percent coincidence, you'll have to read the book. And lots of people sending me info 40:59.760 --> 41:07.840 about Reverend Billy. This is the movie, what would Jesus buy for Christmas? And I didn't realize 41:07.840 --> 41:14.800 that this Reverend Billy is actually is a real guy. And this is more a documentary than a film. 41:14.800 --> 41:20.160 It's kind of a combination where it gets thrown out of the Mall of America and thrown out of Disneyland. 41:20.640 --> 41:28.960 Got to be bad to be thrown out of Disneyland. And the guy is an actor. And obviously it's a protest 41:28.960 --> 41:33.440 of sorts. And I'm really starting to like it. And I thought it was, you know, I thought just thought 41:33.440 --> 41:38.480 it was a movie period, but it's a little, it goes a little bit deeper than that. So the concept of 41:38.480 --> 41:46.000 Reverend Billy is a shop, a stop the shocker, was he called shop, a shop, a shop, can't say it. 41:46.880 --> 41:55.040 Shop, a colism. Stop the addiction to shopping, essentially. Stop the corp, the corp talk. 41:55.040 --> 42:00.320 So he has a similar message. And if you combine the two, if you say, let's stop shopping and show 42:00.320 --> 42:07.280 them the mark of the beast by spending six point 66 percent less. I think we could have a real 42:07.280 --> 42:13.040 good brotherhood here between the two of us. And on the site, there's a great song about stopping 42:13.040 --> 42:16.640 shopping with Reverend Billy's choir that I just wanted to share with you. 42:18.750 --> 44:43.040 [ Music ] 44:43.040 --> 44:46.680 Live on summer day 44:51.640 --> 44:54.600 First up before 1,1 44:54.720 --> 44:58.600 Show one of the people 45:00.040 --> 45:03.080 From what's wrong with girls? 45:03.880 --> 45:08.280 Oh my god, what's wrong with women's son? 45:09.440 --> 45:12.040 You overshot the people 45:12.040 --> 45:14.340 Don't do it Let's get up, do it! 45:16.560 --> 45:32.340 Give it up, C-5 you have to go C-5 and let the man 45:33.040 --> 45:35.040 Wake up, Sonic! 45:35.680 --> 45:39.000 We got a little sister 45:39.000 --> 45:44.000 All right, we need to stop our shot again. 45:44.000 --> 45:46.000 We're gonna back on with you. 45:46.000 --> 45:49.000 Back on with you to that tonight. 45:49.000 --> 45:50.000 Tell me. 45:50.000 --> 45:52.000 Tell me, tell me, tell me, tell me. 45:52.000 --> 45:55.000 Back on the way from the front. 45:55.000 --> 45:58.000 Back on the forward. 45:58.000 --> 46:00.000 Time the power. 46:00.000 --> 46:01.000 Time the power. 46:01.000 --> 46:03.000 Time the power. 46:03.000 --> 46:05.000 Time the power. 46:05.000 --> 46:07.000 Stop. 46:07.000 --> 46:08.000 Stop. 46:09.000 --> 46:13.000 The Reverend Billy and his choir stop shopping. 46:13.000 --> 46:16.000 You can find them at RevBilly.com. 46:16.000 --> 46:18.000 That will work the look. 46:18.000 --> 46:20.000 Mainstream media is paying attention to this guy. 46:20.000 --> 46:21.000 So I like that a lot. 46:21.000 --> 46:22.000 All right. 46:22.000 --> 46:23.000 One more comment. 46:23.000 --> 46:24.000 Do two more comments. 46:24.000 --> 46:27.000 And one more Christmas song to play us out for the day. 46:27.000 --> 46:28.000 Hi. 46:28.000 --> 46:29.000 I'm sorry for making you play. 46:29.000 --> 46:32.000 I'm the not-so-referent county of Essex. 46:32.000 --> 46:33.000 I don't know. 46:33.000 --> 46:35.000 I think this is your podcast for a few months. 46:36.000 --> 46:38.000 Why? 46:38.000 --> 46:39.000 Call in and say hello. 46:39.000 --> 46:42.000 You show really gets me from the day-art work. 46:42.000 --> 46:44.000 So I keep doing it. 46:44.000 --> 46:46.000 Take this really cool. 46:46.000 --> 46:48.000 What you doing on this long haul dude, as well. 46:48.000 --> 46:49.000 And he's campaign. 46:49.000 --> 46:51.000 And you're absolutely right. 46:51.000 --> 46:52.000 No one over here. 46:52.000 --> 46:53.000 No two of the hell he is. 46:53.000 --> 46:54.000 And it was cool. 46:54.000 --> 46:55.000 Did you use it with his little ideas. 46:55.000 --> 46:56.000 That was good. 46:56.000 --> 46:57.000 You should do more stuff like that. 46:57.000 --> 46:58.000 That was really cool. 46:58.000 --> 46:59.000 Anyway, just saying hello. 46:59.000 --> 47:02.000 So good luck with the show and Adi OS. 47:02.000 --> 47:03.000 All right, man. 47:03.000 --> 47:04.000 Thank you very much for listening. 47:04.000 --> 47:08.560 family. Hey Adam, it's Mike from the UC radio pod show, which you can find 24 seven and 47:08.560 --> 47:14.320 bite me FCC dot com plug. You know, I was listening to the DSC 700 the other day and you were 47:14.320 --> 47:17.840 talking about the TSA and all the trouble you're going through and you know what, I feel your 47:17.840 --> 47:22.800 pain. I lived down in Belize for seven years in the 90s and about a year into that I got 47:22.800 --> 47:27.520 caught bringing Cuban cigars back into the country. They made me stand there and break them all in 47:27.520 --> 47:32.880 front of them and then throw them right into a shredder, which just fucking nice me to do. But 47:32.960 --> 47:38.080 I dealt with that. I figured out it for the next five years. Every time I came back to the 47:38.080 --> 47:43.360 States, which was about once a month for business, I was basically strip searched. They went through 47:43.360 --> 47:50.160 all my shit destroyed my bags. It just sucked. So I do feel your pain. But your suggestion, I went ahead 47:50.160 --> 47:54.960 and bought you a domain and unfortunately I didn't use your promo code. I used my own UC radio three 47:54.960 --> 48:01.760 but right to go daddy and I got you don't send Adam to getmo dot com. So now the domain don't send 48:01.840 --> 48:07.360 Adam to getmo dot com points right to your site. So that's it. You have a good holiday. I'll talk to 48:07.360 --> 48:13.360 you soon and what am I supposed to say here? I think it's I fucking love you. Yeah, because I'm confused. 48:14.080 --> 48:20.320 All right. Thanks Mike. Of course you really wanted to use DSC3 to get that domain name for 48:20.320 --> 48:25.600 695. Let me see. Don't send Adam to getmo dot com. Thanks man. That's pretty cool. Let's see where 48:25.600 --> 48:40.800 it points to. Okay. It doesn't say. You've got to look at this. Very funny. It actually before, 48:44.720 --> 48:50.960 nice. Before it, before it sends you to curry dot com, it sends you to another domain which is 48:50.960 --> 48:57.360 called Adam Curry is a fucking homo dot com which has a roof. I can't really see it long enough 48:57.360 --> 49:02.240 because then it it forwards to curry dot com. Thanks Mike. Nice man. You know what? What uh, 49:03.440 --> 49:06.880 how many guys do they have to have to feel you up when that when you're going through that? 49:06.880 --> 49:14.080 Mike's a really big guy.
